"Starting with that delectable paint scheme, it's a fusion of chocolate brown on a layer of nougat gold concealing a layer of grey primer. The paint was then licked sanded back to create a convincing aged finish. The frame, swingarm, forks and triple clamps all received a fresh coat of gloss black while the engine cases, headlight bucket and exhaust were done in high temp satin."

Regarding it looking like British Leyland Poo Brown, a BINI went past me the other night while I was a pedestrian. I think the BINI was that questionable looking Metallic Brown shade, but in the dark with the street lighting it didn't look so bad.

Whatever colour it is, it'd look very different over a large area with a consistent finish and a gloss topcoat.

I have no idea, but used over small areas like that it looks superb against the black.

I doubt it'd suit a car though.
